Frequently Asked Questions

What is qckfx?

qckfx is an end-to-end regression testing tool for iOS that records your manual interactions in the iOS Simulator and replays them deterministically to catch visual regressions, UI changes, crashes, and network differences — without writing test code. It captures screenshots, network responses, logs, and app state so you can reliably detect unintended changes.

How does qckfx work?

You use your app in the simulator and qckfx records every tap, scroll, event, network response, and state. Save the recorded session as a flow. When you replay the flow later, it plays back the actions in the same order with the same network responses and deterministic state. qckfx produces visual diffs and logs so you see exactly what changed between runs.

Do I need to write test code or install an SDK?

No. qckfx does not require you to write test scripts, integrate an SDK, or modify your app code. It records your simulator session directly and replays it.

Which platforms and frameworks does qckfx support?

qckfx works with native iOS technologies including SwiftUI and UIKit, and hybrid frameworks such as React Native and Expo. It runs locally on macOS and uses the iOS Simulator.

Can qckfx integrate with AI coding agents?

Yes. qckfx includes MCP integrations with coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. An agent can trigger test runs and receive visual diffs and logs for verification, enabling automated validation loops in agent-based workflows.

Is qckfx deterministic and reliable for CI?

qckfx replays tests with identical network responses, seeded values (date/time/UUIDs), app state, and accessibility-based matching, making tests reproducible and reducing flakiness. CI-oriented features are on the roadmap.

Is qckfx free?

Yes, qckfx offers a free solo plan for individual developers. Team plans with shared flows and CI execution are planned.

Does qckfx work on physical devices?

At this time qckfx runs on the iOS Simulator and macOS only. Physical device support is not currently available.

How do I install qckfx?

You can install qckfx on macOS with Homebrew: brew install --cask qckfx/tap/qckfx. Then launch the app and begin recording directly from the simulator.

Where can I find documentation and support?

Full documentation is available at qckfx.com/docs. Bug reports or feedback can be submitted via GitHub.
